First of all piercing your own ear or anything by yourself is more likely to get infected so i think that should keep cleaning it with your stuff and alchohol because redness and a little bit of pain comes with any piercing but it doesnt mean its infected hope i helped!!!

First, you should never pierce yourself with THUMB TACKS! *shakes head*
As far as infections.. it wouldn't surprise me, use salt water, just a few dashes of salt in a few ounces of water to heal it. 2/3 times a day.
If you can get ahold of sea salt, it would be better but not nessesary, plain table salt will work. (you can find sea salt, at health food stores, and some places where piercings are done)
Alcohal can be drying, and actually just infect it worse.
If it doesn't clear up some in a few days, you might want to see a doctor, or think about taking it out, letting it heal and perhaps.. get it proffesionally done. (one word of warning, piercing guns, can cause people to get infections as they aren't sterilized, just sprayed down, the same needle used for other people, I always go to tat shops for my own piercings. They are a bit pricier but CLEAN!)
